What does business bankruptcy involve in the UK?
- Financial distress: Recognising when a sole trader or partnership can no longer pay its debts as they fall due.
- Liquidation process: In some cases, winding up the business by selling assets to satisfy creditors.
- Creditors’ claims: Managing demands from lenders and negotiating settlements or repayments.
- Personal liability: In unincorporated businesses, owners may be personally liable for debts, making bankruptcy a critical personal matter.
- Alternative arrangements: Exploring restructuring or informal agreements to avoid formal bankruptcy proceedings.
How can a solicitor help with business bankruptcy, and what does it cost?
A specialist business bankruptcy solicitor can:
- Assess your financial position: Evaluating assets, liabilities, and cash flow to decide if bankruptcy is the best course.
- Advise on alternatives: Exploring restructuring options or negotiating with creditors to minimise personal liability.
- Prepare and file documentation: Managing all legal paperwork for bankruptcy or related insolvency proceedings.
- Represent you in negotiations: Liaising with creditors and, if necessary, representing you in court.
Costs depend on your case’s complexity and the solicitor’s experience. Hourly rates typically range from £150 to £400, with fixed-fee options available for straightforward cases. An initial consultation—often free or discounted—will help you explore your options and estimate fees.
